After the Rain

Advice from Mr. Nature

Tonight, for some reason Tania's heart was so agitated. His feelings are very uncomfortable. Suddenly he remembered Daniar and the Star. Instantly, Tania got up and got out of bed. She picked up her phone located on the dressing table and immediately exited the room. Tania heads to the backyard to call her niece.

Tania was just about to say hello. However, Daniar's voice was already heard on the other end of the phone. The sound was shaking, but in a hurry.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Wak!" greet his nephew on the other end of the phone.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Ni," replied Tania.

"Alhamdulillah .. thank goodness Uwak called. Niar is really confused about what to do, Wak, reply Daniar.

Tania scrunched her forehead. "What's up, Ni? Wh why? Did something happen to your mother?" ask Tania.

"I-this isn't about mom, Wak. Thank God I am well" replied Daniar.

"Then?" Tania asked back.

"It's about kang Yandri, Wak. Kang Yandri's sister-in-law called. She said that her brother Kang Yandri went to prison, and she asked kang Yandri to come to help her. Therefore, Kang Yandri decided not to continue the journey. Niar sure, Wak. This must be a test for kang Yandri. Niar remembered the late grandmother's message saying if the person who was about to enter the dormitory there, it would definitely experience an inner test. Please Niar, Wak. Please remind kang Yandri if this is just a test" Daniar said with anxiety.

"Uuh, it deserves the feeling Uwak is not comfortable. How it feels Uwak remembers the same you and the little Bibin. Apparently this is a hunch. Yes, it is, Ni. Then Uwak phone wak Alam first. Uwak hang up, yeah. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Yes, Wak. Wa'alaikumsalam."

After disconnecting her phone with Daniar, Tania again pressed the keypad to contact her husband. A few minutes waiting, finally a voice sounded on the other end of the phone.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ma!" greet Mr. Nature.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Is Papa the same as Yandri now?" ask Tania.

"No, Ma. The bus carrying the teachers is resting first in the rest area," replied Mr. Alam.

"Ish, then immediately Papa contact Yandri," Tania ordered.

"But why, Ma? What's up?" asked Mr. Nature sounded astonished.

"Barusan Mama called Daniar. Daniar said that Yandri was having trouble."

"What problem, Ma?"

"Said her brother Yandri was arrested by the police. Yandri was about to return to help her brother's troubles. However, Daniar is convinced that it is just a nuisance from the Yandri family, Pa. Anyway, Papa knows, will the entrance exam be there? Daniar also believes that this is just a test to strengthen Yandri's confidence in entering the dormitory," Tania said at length.

"Yes, Papa will call Yandri" promised Mr. Alam.

"Yes, pa. Soon, because Mama is afraid Yandri will hunt back again" Tania said.

"Yes Ma, yes."

"Promise yes, Pa!" press Tania in her tone

"Yes, Honey. Yeah, well, Papa hang up, yeah. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam!"

Fretfully, Tania hung up the phone.

For Yandri, Nauval is not just a brother. However, he was also the savior of his education. Yes, thanks to the cost of Nauval, Yandri was able to complete his High School. For the sake of Yandri's school, Nauval was willing not to marry first to focus on financing his sister. Perhaps, it was time for Yandri to return the favor.

Yandri was reckless and approached Mr. Adit's desk to ask permission to leave the group. However, when he got to the table one more step, Yandri's phone rang. Yandri then undoes his intention and returns away from Mr. Adit's desk to receive a call from his wife.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Bun!" yandri

"Where, Dad? Any news on Nauval's sister?" ask Daniar.

"Yes bun. Laila's sister called, apparently Nauval's brother was involved in problems with his former men. They fought each other for customers until Nauval was angry and threatened the man. Because they did not accept it, the person finally reported Nauval's brother to the police on suspicion of threatening," Yandri said.

"What has indeed been proven until Nauval's brother in prison!

"Actually Nauval's brother was only examined as a witness, Bun. Not yet named as a suspect."

"Why then did you come home and see them?"

"Ish, Bun kak Nauval is a very meritorious person in your life. So I have to help Nauval. Maybe it's time I return the favor to Nauval's brother."

"What can Dad do? Is Dad a lawyer who can suspend Nauval's detention? After all, Nauval's sister was arrested as a witness, not a suspect. There is no evidence that Nauval did pose a threat. Well, Dad's not a legal expert, so don't have to involve yourself. Not that Mommy forbids Dad to help his older brother, but I also have to remember that Dad has more responsibilities. Mother please, do not involve Dad too far with what is not a concern for Dad. Remember the Stars, Dad. Mommy believes this is just a test to test Dad's determination. Understand," Daniar replied revealing his heart.

Yandri just silently heard a long speech from his wife. Maybe what his wife said was true. Going home will not solve the problem. Yandri is not a lawyer. At the moment when he was daydreaming, suddenly someone patted his shoulder. Yandri was surprised and looked over. It looks like Mr. Alam is standing next to him smiling.

"Bun, Dad hang up the phone, yes." pinta Yandri without waiting for his wife's answer.

After keeping his phone in his jacket pocket, Yandri immediately welcomed the arrival of Mr. Alam.

"Alhamdulillah, take a break too, Wak?" yandri asked while shaking Mr. Alam's hand.

"Yes, Yan. Ihsan said the engine was too hot" replied Mr. Alam.

Yandri just smiled while nodding his head.

"Eh, Yan. Can we talk to you for a second?" ask Mr. Nature

Yandri knitted his eyebrows at Pak Alam's question. However, he could not refuse it. "Yes, Wak" replied Yandri.

"We'll just talk there, Yan. Show Mr. Alam at a dining table in the corner of the room.

"Let's sit down, Yan!" Continue Mr. Nature as soon as they arrive at the table in question.

Yandri nodded back. He also sat in a chair facing Mr. Alam.

Here's Yan .. Uwak you said he said you were confused because you got a phone call from your brother-in-law. Right so?" ask Mr. Nature to make sure.

Hmm, surely Mother who reports this mah," inner Yandri.

"Right or not, Yan?" Again, Mr. Nature asked. And Mr. Nature's question disperse the seagrass Yandri.

"Yes, Wak. My sister is in a disaster. He had a misunderstanding with his former employees so that it involves all police," replied Yandri.

"Hmm, Yan. Maybe you do not know about the events that have been experienced by people who want to enter the dormitory. Actually, it is not just a boarding school, but also a place to fight in upholding religion through education. Of course, when it comes to religious matters, there will be many obstacles that plague us. Do you remember the story of Abraham and Ishmael? At that time, in order to realize his belief, Ibrahim never heard the promptings of the devil to pity Ishmael who he was about to sacrifice. That's your current position, Yan. Your determination to uphold religion must be accompanied by faith. For that, there will be many trials that block your belief. So, do not let them win so that they can break your faith in the Islamic world. Remember Yan, educating is part of worship. Part of da'wah. And da'wah is part of the shiar of Islam. So you must have a strong belief and firm stance in carrying out Islamic shiar. Expose Pak alam at length.

Yandri kept quiet and tried to digest all the advice of Mr. Nature. Maybe he should be able to put aside his family problems first. After all, what Daniar said was true. He's not a lawyer, and it's useless for him to come if he can't help anything.

O Lord .. May You resolve my brother's problems immediately.
